Does Final Cut X's Project Properties have an equivalent of FCP 7's NTSC CCIR 601 (anamorphic) Sequence Settings?

I work with a lot of remote freelance production vendors and manage productions that they are doing for me. I am not yet working in FCX, and only one of my vendors is using it.
The issue is that none of his footage is HD, but a lot of it is 16:9 SD anamorphic, or SD 4:3 footage that he might choose to stretch or enlarge to fill the widescreen frame.  He created his project as a 1080 HD project. I am concerned that  putting all this SD footage into an HD timeline will distort the footage from the get-go by blowing it up unnecessarily. I can't see anything good happening by blowing up footage only to shrink it back down to resolution for DVD encoding.
Final Cut 7 allows you to keep such footage at its native resolution through the NTSC CCIR 601 (anamorphic 16:9) Sequence Setting.  Does Final Cut X allow you to do the same thing, and how do I talk my producer through the steps needed to do it?   Does he need to start over with a new project?

Go to the Project Library and right click the project then choose "Show Properties" from the drop-down menu to bring up the Inspector. Click the little wrench icon to bring up the settings dialog. Change the settings to SD Anamorphic or 4:3 and the appropriate framerate.
Upscaling to HD is completely useless when dealing with SD footage going to DVD.

    The link of my 3-minute video of Native American Indian dancing (above) has been changed to: http://www.goliveusa.com/MoviesFlv/PowWow.html
    where it should remain for at least the next two years.
    Part of this change has to do with a discontent with .Mac, thought that is certainly a topic for another forum.
    Since back here at this thread, and considering the initial forum topic, I'd guess it would be appropriate to ask: "What is meant by the term: functionality?"
    FCE is a a video editing program. Flash 8 is graphic animation program.
    You can incorporate video into Flash 8 and do extra animation with it.

  • How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library?

    How to rename folder in Final Cut Pro X project library? I can't double click on folder, when I right click it just gives options to erase. Can someone help?

    I think you may have misunderstood - the question is regarding renaming a project "folder", not a project name.
    Still, the accepted answer here makes no sense to me at all - it's about renaming an event. So we're all confused ;-)
    BTW as of 10.0.5, I still cannot rename a project folder while background tasks are running - no clue is given that this is what's going on, second-clicking on the folder just (frustratingly) does nothing. When background tasks finish, it works again.

    Look, you can build an HD DVD with an SD movie, just as you can build an SD DVD with an HD movie. This is not a bug, it is most likely user error. Apple will not be addressing it.
    Just start over, and ensure you are building an SD DVD by bringing up the inspector for the disc (click on the background in the Graphical tab).
    Make sure SD DVD is selected:
    (If you do the same thing on your ill fated project, you'll see that HD DVD is selected)
    Build your DVD and you'll be fine.
    Patrick
    P.S. You will need to google HD DVD and Blu-Ray if you want to understand the difference between the formats. The reason that DVDSP included HD DVD was that its format was similar to SD DVD's. Blu-Ray is something else entirely.

  • I am not able to share final cut pro x project to iTunes.  it continues to say waiting.

    I have not been successful in sharing a final cut Pro X project to itunes.  It says waiting.   I can cancel it, of which I have canceled about ten submissions now, but each time it says waiting.  What am I doing wrong here?

    I am not running a compressor.   I am running the 30 trial version of Final Cut Pro X.  I have created and finished a project.
    I am running a brand new iMac with the latest OS version.    First I a highlight the project to share.  I assume just by clicking on it.   click share - apple devices - then i select for which machine, (imac) i want it to render it for-select add to itunes- and click share.
    Then it opens up the share monitor shows the project in question and says waiting.  I can pause it, cancel it but I can not get it past waiting.  the time registry under the info selection says 0.00 minutes but still waiting..
    I am selecting the project correctly?   I have made only one project.

  • Does Final Cut Server include Final Cut Studio Apps?

    Hi All,
    Does Final Cut Server include all the Final Cut Studio Apps, or are these two packages that I'll have to buy separately?
    Thanks,

    They are indeed separate packages. One is a set of media creation apps (FCS), the other is an asset management system for projects created in those apps (FC Server).

  • Export Final Cut Pro 7 project to open in FCP 6?

    Is there any way to open a final cut pro 7 project in final cut 6?
    We have a bunch of older Macs that won't run FCP7, but we use for training but our hope was to upgrade the newer machines to the new Final Cut Studio, but it would be great if we could create something on the newer machines, that we could transfer to the older ones.
    We tried XML export, but it didn't look like it included filters and such, so we are wondering if there is any other way?
    Regards,
    Karl M. Moberg

    Nope. no other way.

  • How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?

    How does final cut pro x export a file if it has not finished rendering?
    So today I finished a project: Share >Export > as a pro res 422 and I'm now burning with iDVD as we speak. FCPX is still doing background rendering! I hope my DVD turns out ok....

    You don't need to render before export.
    Rendering is for playback.
    If your project plays OK from the storyline, you can safely turn off rendering in preferences.

  • Does Final Cut Server is reconnected how media?

    Does Final Cut Server is reconnected how media?

    Yes, I too would like to start this discussion. We have a highly customized distribution, and have come to rely on FCSvr for our workflow. As people find other solutions, or stick with FCSvr, it would be great to know their thinking and how they'll implement the new or the old. If Apple open sources it, there are a number of people who would love to start developing it more I'm sure.

  • Final Cut Pro X Project

    I recently completed a 20-hour project in which I filmed, edited, and produced a short ad. I am a college student, so not a professional by any means, but I also feel I'm not too bad at throwing together videos. I am charging for this project, and am trying to figure out what a reasonable price to charge is.
    I have included a link to the finished video below, but please do not turn this into a political discussion, I was simply paid to make this ad based on a predetermined script, and would like to know a reasonable price for the amount of polish that it has. Thanks in advance!

    This was actually my first project using Final Cut Pro X. I look forward to teaching myself the greatness of color correction soon haha - thanks for the helpful feedback. It seems Final Cut Pro X doesn't have that many color-correction capabilities, but it's probably just me being new to the program.
    Here's a great free color grading tutorial for FCP X.

  • Can I import a Final Cut Pro X project back into Final Cut 7?

    I want to go back to Final Cut 7 (Studio '09) from Final Cut Pro X, but I've already started work in Final Cut Pro X, and I'm worried that my FCP X timelines won't open in FCP 7. Does anyone know?

    big no on that one Im afraid, at some point in the future FCPX may export xml but not yet, your project (timeline) is pretty much quarantined inside FCPX, I'd bite the bullet and finish it there if I were you
    cheers
